Wilshire, a global investment technology and advisory company, forms a new Digital Assets Advisory Group which will be chaired by Blythe Masters.
In a step to deliver an industry-standard Digital Assets Taxonomy System (DATS), the group will bring together digital asset practitioners to capture their collective perspectives and insights.
DATS allows the industry to categorise, manage and research digital asset technologies by identifying common usage types and underlying technologies, as well as investment themes.
Masters is the founding partner of Motive Partners, a specialist private equity firm, and brings more than three decades of experience to the newly formed group.
Prior to this, she held senior positions in a number of companies including Credit Suisse, A.P Moller- Maersk and GCM Grosvenor.
Most notably, Masters spent the majority of her career to date at J.P Morgan, where she headed several divisions such as global commodities, global credit portfolio and credit policy and strategy, and acted as chief financial officer of the investment bank.
